Periods start ... If you're a girl comes of it once in your life: the day when you first period. Most girls are at around thirteen or fourteen years before the first period. Another word for "be unwell 'is' menstruate'.

If you grow your period have become?

Periods are (or menstruating) is a natural consequence of the 'adult' are. That does not mean you're an adult right away if you go for first period. Maturity depends on much more than 'just' a separate development characteristic. A boy is not mature at once to get the beard in the throat or if he already "has a mustache.

It can indeed prevent your period starts, even though very young, such as your eleventh or sometimes even younger. Girls that are really built, and thus more body fat than the average, are generally more unwell than thin girls. If your period starts very young, your eleventh or twelfth or even earlier, it is more accustomed to the beginning, because you really feel for you not to expect.

Getting used to all that stuff your period

* If your period to make of everything. Your body and your mind to react differently than usual. You can (do not may be) by hormones in your body, you go faster and faster crying feel sad or depressed a few days and / or you can feel cranky. Especially the days around your period itself, and the days on which there is a new ovulation (somewhere in the month) you can suffer from depression or emotional moods. To get around these days suffer from depression know that it really quickly about and accept that it goes with it.

* At the beginning you will also have to get used to using pads and / or tampons. If you just use your common towel menstruating. There are all kinds related to the market, the old connection that is quite thick, ultrathin link to what is modern. The thin connection, comfortable to wear during the day, because you'll never see it under your clothes and you feel it too little. At night you can see if the thicker end, because it is cheaper.

* If you recently become unwell you'll have to get used to everything that is involved in menstruation. Example, you need to change pads regularly to prevent leakage. Go to the toilet more often to make sure you are very much blood. Swap the day that you lose much blood at least every two hours your connection, and you shower in the morning and evening with warm water (no soap).

* You can round the day of your period have an increased appetite. This is because the hormones in your body. Try to eat as healthy as possible.

* You can also round the day of your period and during your period a few kilograms weigh. That is not fat, but what your body hold moisture under the influence of hormones. When the hormones subside in the hit you in the week after your period, moisture again lost.

* When menstruation is usually the case that a gradient in the severity of the bleeding, that is to say that the first day blood is usually less than the second and third and the fourth day around the weather a little less often and on the fifth day a little less. Usually takes a period 5 days. It is possible that on the third or fourth day suddenly it seems that your period is over, but a few hours later, it suddenly begins to bleed again. If you just menstruating, then simply related to five days to prevent you from unexpected leaks. Leaks in your clothes is annoying, especially because you are ashamed if people have seen and also because blood can not easily go out of your clothes. If your period blood is spilled in your clothes (or in your bed sheets) which is quite often, remember that your blood with cold water from clothing and other materials can be removed. It is the easiest way out if you wash out if the blood has not dried up.

* Menstrual blood is actually tissue from the uterine wall saturated with blood, so sometimes you see flakes or blood clots in the toilet located. That's nothing to worry about that.

* Use tampons during menstruation can. Small tampons do not damage the hymen. The advantage of tampons may be that all the blood inside the vagina is collected and so what you often feel more comfortable. To prevent leakage it is wise addition to a small tampon to be sure is still a thin connection to wear on days that you are far from it. For tampons is that you must change them regularly. For introducing you should always wash your hands to protect your body from unwanted bacteria. The string of a tampon should always hang outside the vagina. After entering wash your hands again. If you string of a tampon that you wish to delete can not find (which is very rare), then press. Then the tampon further come down. Failing this, call your doctor to ask what is best. A tampon may never actually longer than a maximum 7 to 8 hours in your body longer. The GP will do this more often and he / she can a tampon be at a safe, just remove it.

* Swimming during your period can, but only if you use a tampon. Swimming at the heavy flow days you are not so convenient and it's probably nicer to swim to get out.

PMS, what is that?

PMS or Premenstrual Syndrome, is the name for a certain state of mind, those girls (and women) can have before their periods. PMS is there an overall disruption of normal functioning as a person. These women and girls have severe symptoms before their periods should be.

Periods start, how does it work?

Nature has provided beautiful in life. A fertilized egg is a litter needs to grow. Therefore along the wall of your uterus a litter type of blood and mucus and tissue building. This film is ideal for a fertilized egg, to enjoy themselves in to nest. A fertilized egg, however, only by like you would expect. Before that time comes there is no fertilized egg in the uterus. Hence the litter every month through your uterus is shed, something like: "hmm ... do not visit this month, let's go again changing the bed." The accumulated (litter) wandje in the womb is then broken down and that causes menstruation. The next month the uterine wall again with a layer, and therefore there will be a period every month. Most girls and women menstruate on average every 28 days. If you only period began it takes a while before your body has a steady rhythm so there is no fixed pattern and less easy to predict when you'll be back periods. Each month in your calendar to put a cross on the day you become unwell, you can keep track of all regular period starts. Once a girl has become unwell, she knows that she can get pregnant.

Cramps

A very nasty side effect of illness, the aches and pains that you can have. Headache, abdominal pain upper leg and back pain, are common. The pain that you can have menstruation can be pretty. The one has more problems than others. However, some girls have such a bad headache or abdominal pain, it is understandable that they just stay home sick. Severe menstrual pain symptoms are often treated with a painkiller such as paracetamol.

Periods longer than five days

Most women menstruate 5 days per month, but this is the average number of days. Some women menstruate every month "only" 3 or 4 days, 6 days menstruating others. Each period lasts a month longer than 5 days and yield a lot? Then it makes sense to consult with your doctor regarding a possible shortage of steel. Sustained flow is always a reason to consult the doctor.

Periods and gymnastics

If your period and have gymnastics at school, can you do to feel uncomfortable. I personally believe that a girl should have the freedom to 'no' to say gymnastics when her period. Why? Because adult women often decide not to exercise when their periods, simply because you are tired more often and do not feel comfortable during your period. Moreover, you feel insecure in relation to flowing. If you do not want to participate in gymnastics during your period, talk to one of your parents or your doctor or a counselor at school.

In every girl is going to happen again. You will first period! At school or your mother, you probably have several times told that this is just a time when you are going to happen and what to expect. Yet it ia too, if you first period is that it often comes unexpectedly. For many girls go there a lot of questions through their heads. What is this exactly? What should I do? Does it hurt? And so on. Below you can read all about:

The first menstruation, what exactly happens to your body and what to do. A first menstruation is often "scary". But keep in mind that every girl sooner or later it will come across and it is normal.

What are unwell?

Menstrual periods are hot. The first menstruation, most girls get their 11th between 15th one. But there are exceptions. Get your period, there will be blood from your vagina. It often seems very much but are just (especially in the beginning) a few drops. When you get your first period is unpredictable. But usually you get a first period after your body hair (pubic, armpit hair) and start to get breasts. Your first menstruation usually feel it coming.

If you as a girl for the first period began, then you are physically mature. Your body is now able to have children you're supposed fertile.

What happens exactly when your period?

As previously written, you lose blood from your vagina. But this bleeding is obviously a reason. From the first time that your period your body prepares itself for a possible pregnancy. The uterus takes on a new egg in your ovaries made. The wall of your uterus thickens and is coated with a layer of mucus. If you are not pregnant, this mucus (endometrium) disposed along with the unfertilized egg and some body fluid. Through this divestment is also some blood Fri This is your menstrual blood. So this happens every cycle again. Thus one cycle takes about 28 days, but first you'll have far more irregular cycle. And the intervals will be longer.

Does periods are hurt?

Every girl or woman experiences menstruation in a different way. One feels almost nothing, the other feels a little nagging pain in abdomen or back or both. But there are girls or women who are sick a few days. Thus, the amount of blood and duration of illness are very different. On average you 5 days periods, but can also include 3 days or 8 days. The first two days your period is usually the worst. The one loses a few drops of blood while the other loses a little more.
If you have problems with your period, please feel an aspirin, which is absolutely safe. There are even special sale painkillers for menstrual pain. Note that a little bit when you take a pain killer with ibuprofen. This painkiller thins your blood and can cause you to bleed what is fiercer.

What should I use to be unwell?

If your period you need something to use while your blood is collected. You can choose from pads and tampons. Towels do you do in your panties and tampons must be in your vagina. What you prefer, you can use. Both types are available in different sizes. Many girls find it scary to start using tampons and sanitary towels prefer. The advantage of a tampon is that you can do much more. With tampons, just put a lot finer sports and you can swim with tampons. They also create any unpleasant odors. A tampon insertion takes some practice work. If you have a tampon inserted, you should never feel down. Both need to be changing regularly to prevent leakage, at least 4 times a day.

How can I recognize an illness

For every girl or woman money they recognize a period because there is some blood in the skirt. But after several menstrual periods, you will start to recognize when your period will be. In all these symptoms are different, but here are any symptoms put together a list.

* stomach ache

Always when you think your period will you be a tampon or a sanitary towel with you. Nothing is as hard as your period and you have nothing with you. This money indeed for girls who have never been unwell, but it can happen anytime. Be prepared, nothing can be done wrong.

A few more tips

Do not be ashamed if you get her first period. It is the most normal thing in the world. When you first period, then tell your mother. She can not explain things like what to do. Do not you want to tell your mother then step to someone else (aunt, grandmother, friend's mother, girlfriend themselves if your period is) you trust to help you what to do.
